Experience Pain Relief with Expert Dry Needling Therapy
Chronic pain and muscle tension can limit your daily activities and reduce quality of life. Dry needling is an effective technique that targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
At Mangrum Physical Therapy and Performance in Efland, NC, we offer specialized dry needling therapy performed by certified physical therapists to help you find relief and recover faster.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling involves the use of fine, sterile needles inserted directly into tight or knotted muscles (known as trigger points) to release tension, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow. While dry needling is often compared to acupuncture, it’s a distinct therapy based on modern principles of anatomy and neurophysiology. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions that involve muscle tightness, pain, or limited range of motion.
Conditions Treated with Dry Needling
-
Chronic Pain: Dry needling helps relieve chronic pain from conditions like fibromyalgia, lower back pain, and neck pain by releasing muscle tension and reducing pressure on sensitive areas.
-
Muscle Strains and Sports Injuries: Targeting muscle knots and trigger points promotes faster recovery from strains, sprains, and sports-related injuries.
-
Headaches and Migraines: By relieving tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back, dry needling can reduce headache and migraine frequency and intensity.
-
Joint Pain: For patients with joint pain, such as in the shoulders, hips, or knees, dry needling reduces surrounding muscle tension and improves range of motion.
-
Tendonitis and Overuse Injuries: Conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and Achilles tendonitis benefit from reduced muscle tension, helping relieve pain and prevent re-injury.
Conditions Treated with Dry Needling
-
Pain Reduction: Dry needling releases trigger points, which can alleviate muscle pain and reduce the need for pain medications.
-
Improved Mobility and Flexibility: By loosening tight muscles and restoring normal movement patterns, dry needling enhances flexibility and functional range of motion.
-
Faster Recovery: For athletes and active individuals, dry needling accelerates recovery by reducing muscle soreness and stiffness, helping you return to your activities sooner.
-
Decreased Muscle Spasms and Tension: Dry needling relaxes muscle spasms and tension, which can relieve discomfort and prevent future flare-ups.
